On the aft side of the front differential there does not appear to be any leaking where the shaft comes in from the transfer case.
You should be able to remove the axel shaft and pull out the stub in rear end and put in a new seal.
You can do it DIY a lot cheaper than 500 the shop wanted.
A seal and a 1-2 hrs labor should get it.
Good Luck
